A Gloomy Picture.
D..
LaNlntd Consultation.

[iWIntd COnSlIWtOn.
Senator Frye, who has just returned
from trip to Europe, does not give
a very cheerful account of life in the
old world.
In Scotland he found laborers
working for sixty.two cents q day.
In Venice he saw girls working for
from FIVE to twelve cents day. Fe-
male farm hands all over Europe
earn twenty cents day. The sena-
tor found women doing most of the
field work. He saw twenty women
at work in one field, with not q man
in sight.
The contrast presented by the con-
dition Of American wage-earners is
most encouraging. In this country
every man with average health and
strength has it in his power to accu.
mulate 3 modest competency at least.
Yet, as Senator Frye remarks, we
have among us individuals who are
trying to introduce European ideas,
customs and conditions. They will
Dot succeed. Before our working
people would be Europeanized, they
would rise en- mssse, and inaugurate
a revolution. Fortunately there is
little danger of such calamity.

WOOLFOLK'S ATTORNEY.
Asking that Speedy Trial be Denied.

ATLANTA, GA, August lS.-Mr.
Frank P. Walker, who has under
taken the defense of Voolfolk wrote
to-day to Judge Simmons, of the Ma
con Circuit, asking that the petition
for Woolfolk's speedy trial be refused
and his case not called before the
regular October term as it will be
impossible for Voolfolk to prepare
his defence OF have fair trial soon
er. After setting out these facts Mr..
Walker says: Il would beg of you
therefore to disregard the clamor of a
few people in Macon who, however
honest, are petitioning you to force
US to trial unprepared for the defence,
and who would likely in their thought
less ardor to convict the criminal

expose an innocent or insane maa to

WONDERFUL MAUD S.
The Retired Queen Trots a Mile In.
2-1O-1-2

New YORK, August 14.-John
Murphy came back from the Roches-
ter meeting on Friday night, and
yesterday went up to Tarrytown TO
drive some of Robert Bonner horses.
He finally took hold of the Queen Of
the Turf, Maud S., and went in to Z
give her fast mile in harness. Af.;
ter be had warmed the mare up Mr. s
Bonner requested Murphy to give
her mile with her speed. Going
around the course but once Maud S.
was opened at the head Of the home
stretch, and coming down at q tree
mendous pace, got the word. The
track being Sandy, she was driven
about three feet from the pole. She
reached the first quarter in 32a sec.
onds, 210 gait. She fairly flew by
the half-mile pole in 1.05a Then
Murphy gave her q free rein and the
mare responding swept by the three
quarter pole in 1.3S. She passed
under the wire like fash in 2.10a
extraordinary time for three-quar-S
ter mile track.
She was in the pink os condition,
and trotted stronger and faster than
she had in any previous trial thiss
season. When Murphy stepped out
of the sulky his countenance wore a.
happy smile. Mr.. Bonner asked
"How fast did you go, Johnny
"Oh, what a mare" was all the an

Mr.. Bonner then told nim he mad

Matter2
Ne7r York Herald.

The nations Of Europe are natu:
rally very much astounded to hear
that after paying all our current ex..
penses we have an enormous surplus
in the treasury. They find it mighty
hard work to pay their way, and
every year when they take an ae-s
count of stock they are compelled to
face a ghastly deficit. This mustbe.
taken care of either by an extra as
sessment of the already overtaxed
people, as in Germany, or by adding
it to the national debt, as in other
countries, and trusting to Providence
for something to turn up which will
help to pay it.
Still, while the people ofthis eoun-
try are grateful for an unparalleled
prosperity, they do not forget the
fact that surplus is almost ana
tional crime. The government has
no right to any more Of our money.
than is necessary to cover actual and
honest expenses. When that sum
has been collected every dollar there
after taken from this hard working:
people is robbery. We have never
grumbled at heavy taxation when the. the.
money was needed. We are the'bess
natured folk in the world and take q
pride in having the national machl-
merry run on first class business prin-
ciples. But after that has been ac-
complished we begrudgc every dime.
A surplus is kind of devifs fund
with which to corrupt the politics Of
the country.

TOM WOOLFOLK'S DEFENSE.
His Lawyer Says He is a Monomaniac
and May Not Be the Murderer.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 15.-Thomas
G. Voolfolk, who is accused Of MUIR
dering nine members of the Voolfolk
household in Bibb County, has been
in Jail here for one week. lie has at
last found counsel Frank P. Walker
having consented to-day to defend
him. Mr.. Walker spent two hours
with the prisoner this forenoon. He
said afterwards:
Il shall prove-irst, that Thomas
Voolfolk is insane. Rational as he
may appear at times and on some
subjects, be is a monomaniac and de-
void of all reason when it comes to
weighing right and wrong, good and
evil, and is no more responsible for
dyeing his hand in human blood than
is the lion of the jungles or the mad
dog. But I have theory that Wool
folk is not murderer. I have Wool
folks confession to me about certain
family matters that have never been
made public, and I have a statement
from the prisoner which, if true, will
fasten the murder on other parties.
Voolfolk has given me the names Of
persons who he thinks committed the
wholesale murder, and has given a
chain of evidence which makes his
story plausible one to ny mind.
The man is crazy, and the horrible
crime so greatly shocked his mind,
made weak from dissipation, that he
did not know what he was doing. 1t
may be that Voolfolk was used as a
tool by those who knew of his weak
mental condition, and the names he
has given me may be those of his
allies"
About 12 o'clock on the night of
the murders a colored woman, whose
child was i'll, ran to the Voolfolk
House to get some medicine. She
says that she found Tom in the front
par: of the house, and that he ordered
her to leave, which she cid. Within
the next two hours the murders were
committed.

Sharp Dying.

New YORK, August l8.-Jacob
Sharp had two violent chills this
morning. 1t is reported that three
physicians and all his family have
been summoned to his bedside. At
| 80 the doctors arrived at Ludlow
street jail. Sharp's chill had then
passed but he was weak and exhaust
ed. The physicians said that he was
in no immediate danger but that he
must be closely watched. He is un-
able to lift himself without help and
lies most of the time unconscious
and seems to be in dying condition.

dominant crop leads to excessive
risk. Opportunities to get credit
lead US to go in debt, when We do
not need what We buy, and the very
marrow of our lives is sucked out,
and inally we die, or the sheriff liqui-
dates our estate and the end comes.
The worst result of credit to the
farmer occurs here in the South.
For illustration: The Southern
planter has a plantation which he has
not money to cultivate; he goes to a
factor and pledges to him his crop;
a crop that is not planted, and pro-
cures funds with which to proceed
with his culture. What sort Of man
is this factor that accepts surety that
does not exist, that is subject to vi
cissitudes and changes of weather."
In conclusion Col. Diamond said
"May we not be too willing to keep
our necks in the moose Of the money
king, hoping always for uniform good
fortune, and that our occasional good
fortune will save US. This is the
most serious question, and we should
consider it for those who follow US,
as we'll as for ourselves. This credit
made easy, leads US into too large
culture and into reckless culture.
Repeal the crop lien laws, let the
farmer dispose of his own crop to
whom and where he chooses. Let
him pay his debts in the ordinary
course as other men do. If he fails
to pay, let him be prosecuted, as
other men are prosecuted, by due
process of law suit, judgment and its
execution, and not by peremptory
seizure of his crop as now. When
this shall be done, conservative
man can get all the credit he wants,
as character always tells and capital
knows how to trust. The reckless
man will get no credit and losses
made on him will no longer need to
be assessed upon the whole commu'
nifty. Then shall the New South
arise in all her strength and show to
the world that wealth of resources,
the magnifcence of which is beyond
our dreams"

A Democratic Record.

Somebody asked the Little Rock
Democrat to point out what the Dem
ecrats have accomplished in the three
years they have had charge Of the
government, and that paper replies
as follows:
l. It has restored more than l00,-
100000 acres OF unearned land
grants to the public domain-for the
benefit of settlers.
@ 1t has paid nearly s200,000,000
Of the public debt, and at the same
time paid more money for the pen
sions than ever paid before in the
same time.
3. The expenses Of the govern
ment have been reduced about S15,.
100000.
4. Hoards of lazy, incompetent
and useless officials have now been
dispensed with.
5. It has broken up Indian rings,
land rings and leadership rings
that fourished until the Democratic
party came into its power.
6. 1t has established business
methods and strict economy for job
berry and wasteful extravaganza.
7. 1t has given the lie to the charge
that the Democracy if entrusted with
power would put the negroes back
in slavery and pension the Confed.
crate soldiers"
8. 1t has done more in three years
to curb the rapacity of corporations
than the Republican party did in a
quarter of century.
9. The Democratic party repealed
the odious and unjust tenure Of Office
act.
10. A Democratic Congress passed
an act for bidding the ownership OF
land by aliens.
II. A Democratic Congress insti.
tuted searching inquiry into the
affairs and management of the Pa
cifc railroad-an investigation which
has already accomplished much good,
-. The Democrats reduced the
fees on postal money orders and ex'
tended the benefits of the free deliv'
cry system.
13. A Democratic Congress or
dered the adjustment of railroad land
grants.
IA. A Democratic Congress passed
an act authorizing the issue of small
silver certifcates-a matter of great
advantage to the people.
Is. A Democratic Congress passed
the act settling the succession to the
presidency, and also the act regu
lating the counting of the electora
vote. There could be no more i'm
portant acts.
16. A Democratic Congress passed
an act forbidding the use Of convic
labor on public work. A just ant
wise act.
All this has been done by Demo
Gratis inside of three years. And VI
assure our correspondent that this i
only part of the splendid record
made by the Democratic party within
that time.

Buffalo Bill's Profits $4,000 a Da.
From London Society.


Like other hard-working men, Buf-
falo Bill finds delight in going out of
town from Saturday to Monday, his
favorite resort being the Oaklands
Park Hotel, at Weybridge. To this
quiet resort he has taken quite
fancy, and his commanding figure is
becoming familiar to the habitues of
the place. Col. Cody has been lately
joined by his daughter, Miss Arta
Cody, young lady who inherits her
fathers handsome features and grace
full bearing, and whose well-bred
manners compare favorably with the
wild antics of the pork packing prince
hunters, whose days seem to have
departed. Indeed, the whole bearing
of these quiet Western folk in pri-
vate life is in singular contrast to
the blatant loudness Of the American
women who come here in search of
notoriety-a goal which they attain,
if ever, by the aid of stuffed corsets,
pearl powder and bad language. BY
the way, there is good reason for the
quiet smile of contentment which
decorates Buffalo Bills face now. 1t
is all very well for ducbesses and
countesses to rave about Col. Cody's
nice figure, but the figure which the
Colonel thinks the incest is the hand.

This balance, about 40 per cent Of
the total revenue, includes not only
taxes paid by farmers, but all coun.
try property, and all personally in
towns and cities outside of Columbia,
owned by others than farmers. These
would Offset the taxes paid by farm
ers under other heads. Scarcely 8
pound of river rock is used in South
Carolina and the royalty is, there
fore, paid by the mining companies
or by foreign consumers. This state
ment IS sufficiently accurate to show
that the farmers do not pay three.
four,hs of the taxes.
There are so many better reasons
than this why farmers should have
full consideration that they can well
afford to dispense with it.
IN the second part OF the sentence
quoted the writer is again in error;

Citadel contains a special depart
ment in theology or in medicine, it
cannot be said that the State "edu-
